Job 5:11 Context
9Which doth great things & vnsearchable: marueilous things without number. 10Who giueth raine vpon the earth, and sendeth waters vpon the fields: 11To set vp on high those that be low; that those which mourne, may be exalted to safetie. 12Hee disappointeth the deuices of the craftie, so that their hands cannot performe their enterprise. 13He taketh the wise in their owne craftinesse: and the counsell of the froward is caried headlong.
